Fs: Michelin 270Mm X 650Mm X 18" Race Slicks. Much Faster Than Semi Slicks


Recommended Posts

Much faster then semi Slicks

I have 6 of these tyres in total in this size for sale. $150 each with plenty of race miles left in them.

2x in the softest compound S7 and 4x in the better race compound S8

The S7's are good for a few laps for a really fast time and are preferred by Time Attack cars but are not as consistent all day as the S8 compounds

The S8's do not go off and are preferred by most racers as they are consistent until completely worn out.

I drove a Commodore once at Eastern Creek til the canvas was exposed and the 8's were good up til that last lap. Amazing tyres.

Michelin recommend fitting to 10" to 11.5" rims but I know they work fine on 9" upwards to 11.5"

Always stored indoors (except on occasions when car is outside of course)

$660 each new. http://europeantechnique.com.au/michelin/Tyres/slick%20wet.htm

Located NW Sydney for pick up or I will ship anywhere via TNT

Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney $12.50 per tyre

PM me your email address and I will send you photos with tread depths marked. Generally 2 to 3mm plus across the tread so very usable tyres

For those wondering about how to compare the sizes of these slicks to street tyres, slicks are measured very simply

Michelin measure how wide it is = 270mm of tread width

Then they measure how high the whole tyre is = 650mm high

To compare them to your street tyres get a tape measure on your tyres and see how they compare.

If yours are 245 wide street tyres actually measure them as some 245s are less then 245mm and some more than 245mm

Then estimate if there is space for these slicks so they do not hit your guards or suspension

It is actually simpler than the street aspect ratio measurng system once you get your head around it

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
